Well, I think first you have to be willing to give up hours of your life every day. If you are willing to do that, then you have to be willing to be in the middle of all the big hairy debates, breaking up fights on the forum and behind the scenes taking up MORE hours of your time. And if you're still foolish enough to sign up after that, I think they initiate you by making you eat live goldfish and a bottle of ketchup. Still interested? :noidea:slaphappy You might ask Renda how to apply.

I think that forum admins must be totally over their heads with all this stuff and I don't know how they're not able to become totally immersed and absorbed in the lives of some of the people of these forums.

They watch and see everything.

Why would anyone in their right minds want that position? LOL! :)

Hmmm... Where did you get the idea that admins/mods read every post on the forum? I don't. I read only threads that interest me by the titles-- and anything that gets reported. I'm pretty sure that's about how the rest of the team does too. I don't deal with a zillion PMs and emails... someone else does email (and I'm so glad it isn't me, I barely keep up with my own personal email!) Counseling wasn't in my job description. We don't get involved in people's personal lives (or at least I don't). At any time I feel like I'm in over my head here, I just log out. :)

I would like to believe that I'm still in my right mind too. :sshhh

I don't know. I guess it's just all my imagination. :)

How would you like to follow a diesel bus around sniffing diesel exhaust until you have a splitting headache and vomiting?

Same thing.

Can't imagine why anyone would want it.
